We bought this because of the frustration of 3-4 day power outages occurring fairly frequently around here, and having to listen to all the generators around us while we were powerless! We didn't know Honeywell made a generator, but it's a good name. A generator is one of those things that you never want to have to use, but when you need it, you need it! Of course, since we bought this we haven't lost our power, but living in the country it's only a matter of time. We "fired it up" after it arrived; it is amazingly quiet, and it started fairly easily (after my husband put enough gas in it!)The Super Saver Shipping meant that we got it sent for free (amazing!). The price was lower than anything I'd been able to find either locally or online. So far we're really pleased with this product, and I'm trusting that during the next power outage we'll be o.k.Get more detail about Honeywell HW6200 7750 Watt 13 HP 389cc OHV Portable Gas Powered Home Generator (Non-CARB Compliant).
